Deathlist Cup 2023

Iirc Nick Hungerford was brought up on the forum with him being near death but even then that barely would’ve soften the blow

And that, I would say, is a wrap.

May I offer my congratulations @gcreptile for a stunning Death List Cup 2023 victory. If this was based on politics you have achieved a landslide. Also well done to all the other participants and commiserations to @alt obits guy.

I knew they'd eventually start going for me. A small redemption for a big loss.

As noted in the cricket thread, Heath Streak died. That's two of my final round picks who have carked in August. Before year's end, I will have a winning team.

What is it about the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away?  Heath Streak "very much alive".

 Munawwar Rana could be a future Alt Obits pool hit. 

Looks like nobody followed up on that, including myself....

Walid Daqqa reminds me of last year's name Nasser Abu Hamid. He got quite a lot of obits when he eventually died in November. So Daqqa is a name to remember.

Walid Daqqa reportedly dead at 62.

Ah, well, in the end I ignored him as I like to do with prisoners. But he is a DDP pick, so let's see if he gets a QO. With the war going on, he surely will though, imo.
